Reliance Communications launches MobileNet on GSM network
Internet now at your fingertips, right on your mobile
June 17, 2010: In its latest offering in the Value-Added Services segment, Reliance Communications has launched MobileNet, a single data plan which will provide hassle-free internet access to its GSM/Reliance Telecom Limited subscribers.
Through MobileNet, RCOM GSM/RTL subscribers can avail GPRS through multiple channels like self-care (RWorld, SMS, USSD), e-recharge, paper voucher, Internet etc.
Currently, RCOM GSM/RTL subscribers can avail GPRS services through mobile using different APN (Access Point Name) like RCOM Wap (via RWorld) and connect phone to PC/laptop /modem to browse internet using RCOM Net (via NetConnect charges applicable). Customer experience in each of these scenario(s) is different and process is cumbersome.
